Pages 75 - 84

They do not emphasise specific dimensions of Europeanness, i.e. sites, processes, events or crises of crucial impor-tance from genuinely European perspectives. In the following, relevant issues are discussed from a conceptual point of view, complemented by proposals for a strategy change.
